Panasonic VX-900
CD/カセット/DSPレシーバー — The whole pitch is printed across the fascia in tiny capitals: AM STEREO / FM MULTI / INTEGRATED CD / CASSETTE RECEIVER WITH DSP. This is late-90s Panasonic at full send. The motorised face drops away to reveal the CD slot, the cassette mech lives behind the control panel, and the entire width of the unit is a multi-colour vacuum-fluorescent spectrum analyser that spells out whichever DSP field you've picked in letters big enough to read from the back seat — LIVE HOUSE, CONCERT HALL, and friends. Underneath the theatre there's genuine capability: an AM stereo tuner, FM multiplex, antenna diversity, DSP with sound fields, EQ, listening position and DRC II, plus MD-IN and AUX-IN sockets and control for two external changers. Cassette gets Dolby B/C, metal tape support and tape program sensor. Peak bubble-era excess, and none of it apologising. This shit goes hard.
Bluetooth is included, and tested. :P
